42-year-old Lakeba Nawaqa who lost his sight ten years ago when he got injured in a rugby match says it was the best Father’s Day gift ever on Sunday to have all his children with him but he wishes he could see them.

Nawaqa is married with four children that he has never seen and is the sole breadwinner of his family.

The Lokia villager says two of his children live with his relatives in Davuilevu because they attend Saint Joseph the Worker School.

Nawaqa says fathers who are able to see their children should be proud and happy as there are those that are like him.
